Our day began with a visit to Ripley's Believe It or Not. There were lots of odd and unusual things to see inside. Just a few of the many oddities that we saw included:

the world's largest ball of yarn, a huge picture of Mary Poppins (made out of jelly beans), a statue of the world's tallest man and a real shrunken head. It was interesting.

Jake loved it. This was among the top "must see" attractions.

After lunch we went shopping. Our original gaol was school clothes and shoes. That goal did not last long once we stumbled upon this fun hat store. I won't tell you which one I bought to wear for "crazy hat day" at school.....you will just have to wait and see.

The next stop for the day was the Fish Hatchery. We used to come here often when the kids were little. They loved throwing food AT... I mean TO.....the trout. Rowdy and I used to hold the children by the waistband...to ensure they did not fall in...... some things never change.

We finished out the day enjoying dinner with my parents and brother at his favorite Rib Crib.The food was wonderful. Jake especially got into his meal. Note the HUGE pile of napkins in front of his plate.

Another fun, HOT day in Branson. Who knows what we will do tomorrow.....
